InformalWhat is a "junker"?
A junker is a car that is old, broken down, or in very poor condition. These cars are often no longer reliable for regular use and may be close to unusable. Junkers typically have mechanical issues, body damage, or other serious problems that make them difficult or expensive to repair. People might refer to a car as a junker when it is no longer worth fixing, or when it is being sold for parts or scrap metal.
Example
The junker finally gave out and had to be towed away for scrap metal.
He bought a cheap junker to practice fixing cars before starting his mechanic training.
The junker in the driveway was covered in rust and missing a side mirror.
